What an Author Visit Can Include

Stories come off the page through expressive, interactive storytelling that encourages young readers to participate, predict, laugh, wonder, and imagine.

Children are encouraged to ask questions, share ideas, make connections, and explore their own thoughts—there are no boring “sit quietly while the author talks” visits here.

Activities can be tailored to the featured book, age group, and goals of your school, library, literacy program, festival, or community event.

Young readers can ask about characters, writing, imagination, becoming an author, and where story ideas come from.
